OK, ladies, I am EXHAUSTED! I started the day tired and just never perked up -- even with a cup of coffee!! Am I just having one of those days, or is this normal for phase one? I am already trying to think of excuses to get out of cooking tonight and I just want to crawl into bed! I am taking vitamins and I did exercise last night. But, with being this tired I don't know how I can keep it up!

This is quite common for Phase 1 and is one of the reasons why most people don't start exercising until they get towards the end of Phase 1. Make sure you are getting enough carbs. Beans/legumes really help with this. It does get better. Just give it some time.

Thanks Aida and Barb! I am glad to hear it's somewhat normal. I feel like I am already eating almost too much! But, I guess we'll see what the scales say about that. I will work on drinking more water. After a terrible headache last night I feel better today -- but was still draaaaging myself out of bed!
